I’ve struggled a lot with trying to take drug holidays. When I do them, I end up lying in bed all day and become depressed and/or extremely tired.
What are things that you do to make it easier?
For those that don’t know: A ‘drug holiday’ is essentially a day that you don’t take your ADHD medication so that your body has time to decrease tolerance and make the medication more effective.
I’ve never taken concerta but I have taken a different SNRI and I’d start to feel like utter shit by the afternoon if I forgot to take it in the morning. I would be way more worried about skipping an SNRI than a stimulant, personally.
I don’t do drug holidays. I know a lot of people do, but I just can’t function. It makes sense that when you don’t take the medicine that helps you function, it’s really hard to function.
